    My PD is now current and i will be filing in May !
    My attorney sent me package with all papers to sign and is requesting a letter of approval of my visa of 2001 which I do not have. I only have the approved Visa on the passport (Not the letter):confused. Does anyone know if this could be a problem? Why would they need the letter if we have the original approved Visa on the passport?
    Thanks in advance and good luck to all who are still waiting.
    :confused:

    If you are not using EAD why renew it? Unless you are one of the people who applied under the new scheme (free EAD and AP for life), you are just wasting $340 + $305 = $645 (per person).

    You can easily wait till you move to new place before applying - if at all you want to apply. If your EAD & AP have expired, I am not sure if the new EAD/ AP will be considered as a "new" application or a "renewal".

    free "EAD and AP" for life what are you talking about??

    Filing the application to port as seperate after the 140 is approved assures the attorney & the employer of of 2 things:
    1. The attorney gets more money for filing a seperate application.
    2. The employer gets to keep you tied down longer since its likely that the USCIS wont know what to do when a seperate application is filed just to port the date. Its not a documented procedure (that I am aware of) in that you have to file Form I-xxx or whatever.

    Best to port the PD at the time of filing the 140.

    Disclaimer: I am EB3 and I havent tried porting my date to EB2. Just using my basic common sense.

    If your company is financially strong and can prove that they can pay your salary, then you will not have any problem. If your company is small and have only couple of consultants working and the earnings are less then you might have issues.

    I have a question to concerning my employment status. My manager recently told me that I should look out for a new job within company or outside. I am assuming he is saying that a layoff is looming out for me. I am currently on H-1B/EAD and my wife is also working on EAD.
    I can inquire about the prsopects of getting leave of absence which will help me in getting through the immigration process since my priority date is Feb. 18,2005 EB2 India. So I am almost there.
    But I am not sure what happens if there is a RFE asking for paystubs.In that case I may not be able to produce paystubs from my company since I am on LOA. And not from any other company since I have an H-1B, I cannot be working for any other company also.

    So which is better, LOA or termination of job? Hard choice..

    I doubt you will be allowed to take LOA. The company still has obligations on you when you take LOA - like employee insurance, medical premium, etc. How big the company is also matters. If the company is small and you have the right connections, this may possibly work but I doubt so still.

    Your best bet will be to look for another job and take the AC21 route.

    These talks never mention legal immigration. Americans don't want all sort of immigration: legal or illegal.

    Give atleast 1-2 months for booking the appointment. It was a harrowing experience getting an appointment to the point where my fingers were aching. Also add in time for the Canada visa. We went to Canada consulate in DC for the Visa.

    Regards,

    Hi Amulchandra,

    I am on the same boat with you. I am on H4 and is continuously exploring all possibilities that would enable me to work. I wonder how volunteering for work in one's field would be illegal. You will not be paid hence there will not be papertrails, taxes or any documents that can be traced to you working (illegally?). Besides, how will they know it, if there's no additional income in your bank accounts coming from your wages or salary? Isn't it? If the illegals could work in the shadows w/o getting penalized, hell, they even would have a chance to get a blue card in the future enabling their spouses to work. There's a very little chance that the USCIS or ICE would penalize you. Don't know even if they would bother give time to it.

    Even if they would bother, you are highly educated, could hire a lawyer and easily explain it to court. Your current immigration lawyer is just too paranoid and is unreasonable.

    Go for it man!

    Thanks.

    But here is my situtaion

    My company filed 140 (say 1st I-140 ) and 485 in july 2007 (no receipt yet) on a substituted Labor.
    Now my original labor is approved. Now I want to file 140 (and 485 if possible) on this labor. Let us call this I-140 as 2nd I-140


    Oprion 1

    Cancel the 1st 140 and 485 which is applied on LC substituion and File 2nd 140/485 on my own LC

    Options 2

    Apply 2nd 140 on my original labor and cancel 1st 140 which was filed on my substituted Labor and keep the existing 485

    option 3

    keep 1st 140/485 which was applied earlier.
    Apply 2nd 140 on original LC before Aug 17 and if I run into problems (RFE) with the 1st 140 (based on substituted LC), change the underlying 485 to 2nd 140

    option 4

    keep 1st 140/485 which was applied earlier.
    Apply 2nd 140 on original LC after Aug 17 and if I run into problem with the 1st 140, change the underlying 485 to 2nd 140 even if PD is not current.

    Please advice whether all these options are Do'able and which is better

    Thank you for the quick response.

    She has not yet filed 485 (PD is of 2007 i think). So once she ports her 140 she will have to file new labor and 140 (and since that can take more than 6 months) the worry was that she may not be able to work if H1 extension was not possible. so looks like she can apply her H1 extension at the time of transfer and then go on from there. Big worry off her head!

    Thanks again.




    1) transfer her h1 (she is worried because many companies do not transfer if < 1 year is on h1), and simultaneously file for an H1 extension based on approved 140 from her current job?
    A. While file for her H1 transfer she can ask for 3 years extension based on approved 140

    2) file a new labor and port her PD from the approved 140?
    A. If she has not filed her 485 then she has to start the GC and can port her PD to the new 140

    3) if no to 1 or 2 - is it the end of the road? Can she transfer to H4 (on her husbands H1) and continue to stay here?
    A. 1 and 2 are possible. If she wants she can transfer to H4 as well.

    Hope this helps.

    I think in the case you mentioned in your first post it will highly risky to use AC21 ,it would be advisable to be with the sponsoring employer till your 485 is approved. You have two labours and two 140s in different categories EB2 and EB3 processed .I think in your case please consult with a very good lawyer/attorney because immigrtaion laws are very complex and complicated,
    not straight forward . If this was staright forward everyone who is EB3 would have converted or ported to EB2 and as I mentioned before documentation and employer support is a must . One of my friend went to his employer wanting to convert from EB3 to EB2 his employer( a reputed American Bank) refused point blank.
    The point here is people reading this forum get mislead that porting is very easy and straightforward and simple . It is not ,if it was all would have filed in EB2 and not EB3 .EB2 has more checks and scrutinies and different requirements. Thats what I was told by my attorney. So consult an attorney before you go this route.

    Thanks for the detailed reply. In my case, the company's lawyer suggested this option. I have a MS from US, have enough experience and the job profile justifies an EB2 application. Unfortunately, I got stuck with EB3.

    I will keep in mind what you suggested and will do more research before taking any action.

    Reading your post, it seems that it is better for me to do nothing (option A).
    talk to an attorney.
    I have a similar problem with 2 485s, one as primary, one as dependent. The PDs are 18 months apart, and both are not going to be current in August. Had ending up filing both in the July fiasco because both attorneys were dillydallying on filing and we were hoping atleast one gets through, now both did.
    My attorney is now advising me NOT to withdraw one on my own, because USCIS in its own confusion might end up withdrawing BOTH petitions. This also happened to someone recently on the forum (I-140 in one case got denied, and all four 485s were denied, without USCIS realizing that 2 were tied to another I-140 which is still around). He believes we will either get an approval outright and the second petition will be automatically nullified, or we'll get an RFE.

    At least, the article shows the TWO side's stories from the people who against us and the people who favor us.
    And more important is finally someone is focusing on EB problem.

    Did you think it was for us then?
